  Dietary bran - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Dietary bran is the combined testa and fruit skin of cereal grains in the family Poaceae.
Bran is often used to enrich breads (notably muffins) and breakfast cereals, especially for the benefit of those wishing to increase their intake of dietary fiber.
Bran oil may be also extracted for use by itself for industrial purposes (such as in the paint industry[3] (http://www.hbti.edu/oil.htm)), or as a cooking oil.

 Misconcepotion About Dietary Fiber
Dietary fibers are vegetable substances not digestible by the enzymes of the alimentary tract.
Brans and pectins obtained from dietary sources are probably the most effective types of fiber.
Bran increases the size of the bile salt pools when necessary and otherwise normalizes the balance between the major components of the bile.

 Dietary fibre increases cancer risk
Dr Hugh Trowell, another strong advocate of dietary fibre, confirmed this in 1974, saying that 'a serious confusion of thought is produced by referring to the dietary fibre hypothesis as the bran hypothesis, for many Africans do not consume cereal or bran but remain almost free of constipation, irritable bowel syndrome and diverticular disease'.
He concludes that the effects of excessive intakes of dietary fibre on calcium, iron and zinc absorption would be particularly undesirable for infants, children and young adolescents, and recommends that dietary fibre intakes in those groups should be separated from those for the general adult population and given on a body-weight basis.

Dietary fibre is defined* as the endogenous components of plant material in the diet which are resistant to digestion by enzymes produced by humans.
A statement or claim relating to the bran content of a food other than the listing of "bran" in the list of ingredients is considered to be a claim that the food is a source of dietary fibre (see Section 7.5.3).
No dietary fibre claims may be made for rice bran, which is considered a safe food ingredient but whose efficacy as a source of dietary fibre has not been established.

 The Cholesterol Myth, Part 3: The Bran Wagon
Burkitt's recommendation was based on vegetable fibre, but bran (cereal fibre) has a far higher fibre content and bran was a practically worthless by-product of the milling process that, until then, had been thrown away.
Bran has also been shown to cause faecal losses of calcium, iron, zinc, phosphorus, nitrogen, fats, fatty acids and sterols, thus depleting the body of these materials.
Bran both inhibits the absorption of calcium from food and depletes the body of the calcium it has.

Finally, wheat bran intake significantly increased daily fecal weight (p=0.001) a finding that is consistent in the literature and lends support for the use of wheat bran as a laxation aid.
Wheat bran is used widely as a laxation aid, however current interest in wheat bran has broadened to its role as a phytoestrogen.
Interest in phytoestrogens overtook interest in dietary fiber in the early 1990's and many studies were conducted on the hormonal effect of foods rich in phytoestrogens, such as flax and soy.

Interactions were encountered for dry matter intake, average daily gain and feed efficiency as level of dietary steep liquor/distillers solubles increased and corn bran and(or) corn bran with solvent-extracted germ meal decreased.
The objective of this experiment was to determine the effects of various blends of corn bran, solvent-extracted germ meal and steep liquor with distillers solubles on feed intake, ADG and feed efficiency in finishing yearling steers.
Cattle consuming corn bran are less prone to experience subacute acidosis due to the slower nature of fiber fermentation compared with starch fermentation, whereas the high digestibility of corn bran allows for favorable gains.

 Webb et al., December 2001   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
ABSTRACT To determine the effects of dietary lasalocid and increased dietary fat on reproduction, multiparous Brahman cows (n = 68), body condition score (BCS) of 6.2 ± 0.7 and BW of 500.9 ± 42.6 kg, were randomly assigned within sex of calf to receive one of four rations.
It is possible that both lasalocid and supplemental dietary fat may affect metabolites and metabolic hormones that act on the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis.
Based on these results, it seems rice bran supplementation or the addition of lasalocid to the diet would be beneficial in improving postpartum reproductive performance in Brahman cows.
